MR. BEEcHERs SUCCESSOR.
A Young English Clergyman to be
Called to the Pulpit OF Plymouth
Church.


NEW YORK, Nov l.
1t is virtually settled that the Rev Charles
\. Berry, of Wolverhsmpton, England, is TO
be called TO Plymouth church as its pastor.
The departure for England of Mr.. Berry,
who sailed by the Britannia on Wednesday
enables Plymouth church TO take action,
which, so long as he remained in America,
would have placed him in an embarrassing
position, Mr.. Berry did not come To this
country, nor was he invited To come as a
candidate for the Plymouth pulpit, At the
same time, in view of the special intetest in
MIR, Berry manifested by Mr., Beecher after
their meeting in England a year ago, Mr.
Berry has generally been regarded as a pos
sibility.
1t is not expected, of course, that the mere
sentimental influence of Mr.. ..Beecher having
taken fancy to this Young preacher, would
determine the church TO call him, ire
spectiye of his qualification. But when he
did come he made at once wonderfully
strong impression that was deepened every
time he appeared before the church members
in the pulpit, in the lecture room, or in per
sonal intercourse.
So far as his pulpit presence and utterance
were concerned, the satisfaction of the con-
gregation was complete. His sermons were
well written, his voice was pleasing his elo-
cution was admirable and without any pro-
nounced English infection. His theology, so
far As was indicated by the four sermons he
preached, was sufficiently liberal and full of
spirituality and gospel fidelity. lie showed
clearly that his thinking was strongly ON the
lines and in the direction of Mr.. Beecher's
while there was not the slightest indication of
initiating Mr.. Beecher.
Mr.. Berry is not 30 years old. At 22 he
took his first charge, church in Bolton,
England, and is now in hi, fourth year as pas
tor of the Queen street Congregational church
in Wolverhampton. During the time il is
said that no less than ten branches have been
established in the BLACK Country" round
about for the colliers and foundry men. Five
OF these have already separate houses of wor-
ship and fund for building the others is
nearly accumulated. MIR. Berry has been
the moving power in this great mission enter
prise, and is credited with the knack of get
ting a great deal of work out of his associates
without seeming TO bring to bear any special
pressure.
The home church is in the most flourishing
condition. and is one of the largest, perhaps
the largest outside of London of the Congre-
gational churches in England. In addition to
the successful condition of his church work,
Mr.. Berry has taken IA decided and prominent
position in respect to public affairs at home.
1t is on him that the duty often falls of rep
resenting the churches of his denomination
on public occasions, as he did wnen Mr..
Beecher was received by the ministers, and
as he did just before sailing for America,
when he welcomed in the name of the Nom
Contormist churches, the Church of England
Convention at WOlverhampton, the Arch
bishop of Canterbury responding.
